Dudes:

I have several question relevant to this thread:

1. My GC issued to me last year (April 04)
2. I just lost my GC several days ago.
3. Do I need to apply I-90?
---YES
4. How long does it take to get GC reissued?
---------- they have started new procedure to file I-90 with LA lock box or Efile,nobody is sure how much time they will take to send new GC
5. Do I need to go to local UCIS during this process?
-------------- you cant file I-90 with Local USCIS they have stoped
6. Do I need to give them new photos, new finger print? (they already took
finger prints as well as photos for the lost GC card )
--------------- one I-90 is filed you will get notice to go to ASC they will take photograph and fingerprints
7. What is InfoPass?
------------- go to USCIS site and read, one need infopass if one need to visit Local USCIS
8. Why the f**k does it cost $255 to get reissued due to lost card?
------------------because you lost it and mind your language

Thanks for the support guys.

Ginnu,

I appreciate the help.

But, chill out dude on the language issue, that's why I used the "*" to mask
it. Anybody can make a mistake or get a bad break and lose the card...
 
good news! got biometrics appointment

Good news :)

I finally got the biometrics appointment after waiting for it for almost a month! Here's my timeline of my application process:

Applying for green card renewal/replacement:

Early June, 2005: mailed I-90, along with cheque
June 14/15/16: got receipt
July 13/14: got notice of appointment (fingerprint notification/I-797)
Sept 10, 2005: date of my appointment!!

so for anyone who is applying/ is going to apply for green card replacement/renewal, be prepared to stay in the US for quite a while to wait for these letters and the final appointment.

Good luck!

Early June 2005: mailed I-90, along with cheque
--------------------- It seems you sent form I-90 by mail to LA Lockbox address
June 14/15/16: got receipt
---------------- You got filing receipt in 10-12 days
July 13/14: got notice of appointment (fingerprint notification/I-797C)
---------------- They took about one month AFTER sending the receipt to send biometric appointment
Sept 10, 2005: date of my appointment!!
------------- It seems appointment after 2 months of the date they sent letter biometric appointment
*** just to go for biometrics it took about 4 months from sending I-90 to LA lock box
***** After Biometrics nobody knows how much time they are going to take to send Card

so for anyone who is applying/ is going to apply for green card replacement/renewal, be prepared to stay in the US for quite a while to wait for these letters and the final appointment.
---------------- 4 months to go for Biometrics and then to wait for the CARD
Good luck!

Good to hear about your appointment.

I have filed on July 6th and received I-797 C notice on July 8th. But this didn't have any information regarding biometrics.

Are you sure I-797C is the notice of appointment or should be treated as only receipt?

My Case is - Never received card.

:p Sorry about the confusion. Here's what it should be:

1) The receipt should be I-797C, notice of action, which the applicant will recieve pretty soon after submitting I-90 for renewing their green card.

2) The I-797 (no C at the end!! sorry!!), also known as the fingerprint notice, should arrive a month after receiving I-797C, as in my own case. It contains the assigned date and time of the biometrics appointment.

hope this clears things up!

i also never recieved the actual green card and e-filed for it on July 10, 2005 to NSC. I also paid only 70 dollar and recieved my I-797C on July 15th but it said that payment paid was zero dollar. However, my bank statemnt shows that USCIS has already been paid 70 dollars. so much confusion.......USCIS is one of the most "...ed" up institution in america...

plese keep me mpsted if you ever get I-797 notice for biomterics....i am sure they will ask for 185 dollars....
 
Desi74,

I will update as soon as I hear some thing from CIS. But I think since we never received the plastic card, we don't have to pay $ 185.

----------- you dont have to pay 185 but you have to pay $70 as biomatric fees.
 
Yes. Every one should be pay $ 70. Plus all cases except few (like never received card) should pay $ 185.

I haven't received the appointment letter yet. Its almost 60 days now. Should I be worried? I have taken an infopass appointment to get my passport stamped. Will they entertain me without the appointment letter?
 
I'm also waiting for almost 60 days now.

I don' think we need to be concerned, it takes time depending on the area you live in.
 
It is absolutely disgusting that if a immigrant needs to replace his/her green card for whatever reasons it takes him almost 6 months to do so. It is shameful the way USCIS treats immigrants. Name me one service for which Americans have to wait for 6 months. I know some patriotic immigrants at this forum would be the first one to point out that if we don’t like it, then we should quit USA. But this is not the point. In USA, where you can pay the bill, get a connection for any service, and literally perform another operation by clicking a button on internet in few days, poor immigrants are treated like animals by USCIS for all services.
